2013 GMC, will they total it or repair it?

[TexasGopher]

I had an accident in my 2013 GMC Texas edition with 144k on it and while the damage doesn't appear to be too bad it did pop the drivers side air bag. I have noticed no fluid leaks anywhere but it was pulling to the right a bit when I drove it off. The accident happened on 12-9 and 12-30 is the soonest i can get it in a shop for an estimate. every shop within 50 miles if booked with some as far out a March.

Impossible to answer.

most insurance companies will total it if the damage exceeds 70% of the value. some companies are less. the good thing is you can buy it back most of the time for short $

Should be able to fix all of that in the driveway with a trip or two to the local salvage yard for some cheap parts.  Got any more photos?

The drivers air bag popped and it locked up both sets of seatbelts. I'll know next week for sure but there may be some suspension damage also.
